Madeline King and Grace Pancik are best friends and the envy of Nantucket for their perfect marriages, their beautiful kids, their Sunday night double dates with their devoted husbands. But this summer, something's changed, and if there's anything Nantucket likes better than cocktails on the beach at sunset, it's a good rumor.And rumor has it......that Madeline, a novelist, is battling writer's block, with a deadline looming, bills piling up, and blank pages driving her to desperation--and a desperately bad decision;...that Grace, hard at work to transform her backyard into a garden paradise, has been collaborating a bit more closely that necessary with her ruggedly handsome landscape architect;...that Grace's husband, successful island real estate developer "Fast Eddie" Pancik, has embarked on quite an unusual side project;...that the storybook romance between Madeline's son, Brick, and Grace's daughter Allegra is on the rocks, heading for disaster.As the gossip escalates, and they face the possible loss of the happy lives they've worked so hard to create, Grace and Madeline try mightily to set the record straight--but the truth might be even worse than rumor has it.

Review PRAISE FOR THE RUMOR:"We've said it before and we'll say it again: Hilderbrand is the queen of the summer. Rich people behaving badly--perfect poolside."―Susannah Cahalan, The New York Post"It wouldn't be summer without a breezy, sensual Nantucket tale from Hilderbrand, and her latest...doesn't disappoint. Intricately plotted and filled with fast-paced dialogue, it's as sweetly satisfying as a glass of Sancerre."―Kim Hubbard, People"The story is packed with the details of the wonder that is summer on the small, chic island off the coast of Massachusetts."―Catherine Mallette, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram"The detail is authentic...Expect to find it filled with all the ingredients of a great chick lit read: many characters with intertwined lives, a handsome guy (in this case a landscape architect), complicated romance, and lots of wine."―Georgea Kovanis, The Detroit Free-Press "One of the reigning queens of the summer beach book."―The Connecticut Post"Be forewarned: scandal and swirling tension aside, Elin's descriptions of the idyllic setting in this perfect beach read may inspire readers to book a getaway."―Eric Cupido, Hello! Canada"Queen of the beach read, and her latest [The Rumor]...is nothing short of a gift."―Lynsey Eidell, Glamour.com"[The Rumor] explores human nature and the truth behind the gossip that people love to be the first to share."―Laurie Higgins, The Cape Codder"Elin Hilderbrand, queen of the romance novel, never disappoints her readers--and here she is at the top of her game once again. She details every character superbly, her themes and plotlines are well thought out, and you can picture every scene in your mind so vividly. I read The Rumor quickly because I needed to know what ultimately happens and had no idea how it was going to end...Rumor has it that you will enjoy this book as much as I did."―Vivian Payton, BookReporterPraise for BEAUTIFUL DAY: "A perfect summer read."―Ladies Home Journal"A wedding readers won't be able to resist crashing."―Kirkus Reviews"Hilderbrand's latest is the perfect beach read....[her] straightforward style pulls the reader into the minds of her characters, and all the secrets and sorrows that create the universal messiness of major family events."―Publishers WeeklyPRAISE FOR SUMMERLAND:"Summerland is as readable as any beach book, but with a much bigger heart."―Boston Globe"The Queen of the Summer Novel...Hilderbrand blends real-life issues - depression, teen alcoholism, bullying - with her signature soapy twists and illicit romances."―Joanna Powell, People"Hilderbrand has once again written an engaging story wonderfully illustrating the often complex lives of young people struggling toward adulthood."―Booklist"A sensitive glimpse into the lives of damaged people groping their way toward healing."―Kirkus Reviews"Hilderbrand weaves a thrilling tale of friendship and betrayal."―Us Weekly

Until this year, each novel has been more nuanced and delicious. Hilderbrand was going through surgery and radiation for breast cancer, I'm also a survivor, and had similar surgery and chemo. I couldn't have written a novel, some days I could barely brush my hair. That's why I feel bad giving s less than great review to one if my favorite writers.THE RUMOR is filled with big and little rumors, some true, some not, some wishful thinking. The first Rumor is that Nantucket writer Madeline King is having an affair with her best a friend Grace's husband. Grace is on the cusp of an affair with her gardener, but that Rumor will be hidden for a while. Suffering from writer's block, Madeline uses her friend's secret romance as a way to break her lack of creativity. What could possibly go wrong?THE RUMOR is told in short chapters from different third person POVs, but unlike most of Hilderbrand's previous novels, none of the voices were unique or felt special. Even though I read THE RUMOR in one day, there was almost zero tension, even when there should have been. None of the characters felt particularly memorable and I found the plethora of names not found among common people (Calgary. Brick. Allegra. Benton. McGuvvy. Sterling. Bridger.) to be distracting.Elin Hilderbrad might be a victim of her and own success. She has set the bar high, and readers like me will probably expect the same level of excellence, despite having a tumultuous year. I'd rather have waited a few months, or even another year for a novel on par with her previous books. For another writer, THE RUMOR might be considered a career high, but for me it lacked luster and uniqueness. I'm still a huge fan and I can't wait to preorder her next book.
11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Hilarious! By Susan As someone who grew up in a small town, I immediately identified with this book. No one was immune from being the object of gossip and very few refused to repeat rumors. Similar to the telephone game we played as children, people changed one word in an otherwise innocent story, transformed it into a juicy tale, which spread around town via the small drugstore like wildfire. As was true in The Rumor, some stories were true, but separating fact from fiction was impossible. Thus people assumed that all rumors were based on fact.The characters were wonderful caricatures. Picturing Grace wiping each leaf of her multitude of rose bushes with a solution of lemon juice and water made me laugh out loud. A large spread in the Boston Globe meant almost as much to her as her torrid affair with her gardener. And all the while her husband was running a prostitution ring, although he never thought of it that way. After all, this family was the upper crust of the island.Elin, on a personal note, I like to think of The Rumor as your "getting well" book. Your wry, quirky humor was on every page, as well as your love for Nantucket. Thank you for providing me with several hours of pure entertainment.

Easy summer read but not one of her bests By Caitlin Duggan Easy summer read but not one of her bests; I found all of the weird character names to be very distracting and I found myself confused by the different viewpoints because all of the characters sounded the same, none of them had very memorable qualities that stood out. Fast Eddie does not seem like a person truly found on Nantucket; his marriage to Grace did not seem to make much sense based on their personalities. I was able to read the book in one long beach day and it kept me entertained, just not as gripping as some of her older novels.
